Description

1874-CC Half Eagle, Fine 15
Wonderful Circulated Example

1874-CC $5 Fine 15 NGC. Winter 1-C. Smooth antique-gold patina and nearly unabraded surfaces delight the viewer. The rims are bold, and most of the star centers exhibit complete radial lines. An old pinscratch in the left obverse field before Liberty's neck serves as a pedigree marker. Carson City half eagle coinage in 1874 amounted to only 21,198 pieces. While this is the highest production from this Mint for the decade, slightly edging out the 1871-CC, examples are still scarce in all grades today.
